October marks Microsoft's annual monthlong Employee Giving Campaign. I'm proud to work for Microsoft but particularly proud of Microsoft's and its employees' support for not-for-profits.
This week, my colleague who's also a Summit board-member, signed Summit up as a beneficiary of an employee raffle for electric scooters. I don't have permission to share the winner's name but was amazed to learn that over $6,000 was raised for Summit from this one event.
Another key Summit-related activity is the Dogs@Microsoft calendar. Employees donate to Summit and, by way of recognition, have their dog's photo placed in the calendar for the dog's birthday. It's tremendously popular and raises lots of money for Summit every year.
There are, of course, many other activities and many other not-for-profits that employees support and that benefit from this fun and rewarding period.
The photo's include Peggy, her dad and her dog - Apollo - Grant and his dog - Joey - Chrystal and Rick.
